AGRICULTURAL-BASED STATISTICS

The CrPS is a quarterly survey that aims to generate basic production statistics for crops, other than palay and corn, at the national and sub-national levels. The CrPS covers more than 280 crops sub-classified under three commodity groupings, namely: 1) Non-Food and Industrial Crops, 2) Fruit Crops, and 3) Vegetables and Root Crops. The commodity coverage by province differs and depends on what each province produces. 

The consumer price index or CPI is a measure of change in the average retail prices of a fixed basket of commodities or goods and services commonly purchased by the households relative to a base year or base period.
